Apple

Within about two months will witness the launch of the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus – if those are your definitivos- names, and the truth is that everything is rumored or leaked in recent months speaks about devices that many things will be too similar to the current iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

In fact recent rumors suggest that Apple will not make great revolutions this year and break its usual two – year cycle to renew both inside and outside the terminals. This new cycle could lead not to an iPhone 7s, but directly to theiPhone 8 in fall 2017 to celebrate the decade of the launch of its smartphone. What impact that might have on sales these coming quarters?

IPhone 7: Changes yes, revolutions do not

The Apple rumor mill often causes all sorts of conspiracy theories, but the truth is that everything suggests that the design of the iPhone 7 will be practically traced to the current terminal except for the famous disappearance of 3.5mm of the both we are talking and that many have criticized here and there.Continue reading →

atomic storage

A group of researchers from the University of Delft has developed a storage device at the atomic scale in which is possible to store 500 Tbit per square inch, a staggering figure that outstrips any current storage system.

This “hard atomic” could store all the books written by humans in the size of a postage stamp, and although there is still work ahead, it points to a future in which such systems could definitely outrun technologies current storage, although there is still a major drawback: the speed of reading and writing.Continue reading →

Moto G4 Plus after a month of use, end up convincing yourself

Posted on by Gabriel Lowell
Moto G4 Plus

The initial reaction to the arrival of the new Moto G manufactured by Lenovo was uneven: the identity of that family created by Motorola disappeared now that Lenovo took the reins, and had a different bet. Probably more suited to the times, something that some users were reluctant to accept favorably.

We neither saw very clear, but after the initial analysis of the G4 Moto Plus we could spend a month with a device that goes from strength to strength and has just convinced by their successes. It may not be that device star, but certainly still maintains a quality price / performance especially remarkable.

In this Moto Plus G4 and G4 Moto normal design is conditioned by one of its distinctive features: the diagonal screen, which goes from 5 inches from the previous generation to 5.5 inches of these models.Continue reading →

HTC Vive

The rivalry between the two leading exponents of virtual reality is evident from both Oculus as HTC offered their devices. Not only they competed in their hardware, but also in its catalog of games. Instead of being able to access a universal catalog, users were partly tied to catalogs of one or another proposal.

Oculus actually implemented a DRM system that caused users of HTC Vive could not play the games available at the Oculus, but a few weeks ago appeared Revive, a patch to fix it.
